Pecan Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2
   Place the pecans in the baked crust.
3. 3
   In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine egg yolks, golden syrup, brown sugar, butter, cream & salt. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly & WITHOUT letting the mixture boil for 7 to 10 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken slightly (160 degrees F on a candy thermometer).
4. 4
   Remove from the heat & stir in the vanilla.
5. 5
   Pour the filling over the pecans in the pie shell and place a foil ring around the top of the crust to prevent overbrowning.
6. 6
   Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until filling is puffed & golden and just beginning to bubble around the edges. Filling will shimmy slightly when moved.
7. 7
   Cool completely on a rack, about 45 minutes, before unmolding.
